"Total Basement Finishers was referred to me by a friend who also used their services. After speaking with numerous companies, I felt most comfortable with the proposal, experience and cost from them. I hired them to complete a full remodel of a 1970's outdated basement to meet present times. Perfect for my new man cave and a play room for the kids. Highly recommended!"

"Mike was great. He responded expeditiously; gave me great input; and ordered and picked up almost everything needed for the project, using his discounted price when applicable. His team completed my project in a week's time as promised and the job was beautifully done. I will definitely use him again for my next bathroom remodel and any other projects I have."

"One of the best contractors that we have worked with in our 13 years in this area! Our deck took 2-3 days to complete, the workers were on time, cleaned up after and non invasive (I work from home). We LOVED the outcome. We are hoping to have them do a remodel of the front porch before the Summer is out! We plan on using them for all our remodeling needs. Beautiful couple who work like a well oiled machine. I would highly recommend their services for any project you may have. - Yvette & Chris Fowler"

"I've used Best Homes in the past for smaller projects, but hired them to put a bar in my basement and all new flooring. Jeffry was very attentive to all of our needs through the design and build process. The team was able to answer questions when needed, and address questions/issues as they came up. I highly recommend Best Homes for your home remodeling needs!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Lake Ridge, VA

Finishing a basement turns unused square footage into livable space and returns up to 70% of what you spend when you sell your home. Beyond that resale boost, you gain a playroom, home office, or guest suite you can start enjoying right away. That mix of daily comfort and solid return on investment (ROI) makes basement finishing one of the smartest upgrades you can tackle.

In some parts of the country—especially lots on swamps, high water tables, or other wetlands—local codes prohibit basements. Saturated soil puts constant pressure on foundation walls and lets water seep in faster than any sump pump can handle. 

If your property sits on waterlogged ground, building on a slab or crawl space is often safer, more affordable, and code-compliant.

Most basements wrap up in four to eight weeks. Framing takes three to five days, with electrical and plumbing rough-ins following over the next week. Add five days for drywall, two to three for flooring, and another week for paint, trim, and punch-list items. 

Delays can happen if materials run late or your contractor’s calendar is packed, so build in a little cushion when you plan.

Whether a finished basement counts toward your home’s official square footage depends on local rules. Many areas only include below-grade space if it has code-approved egress, fully finished walls, ceilings, and floors, plus consistent heating. 

Check with your local assessor or building department before you start; meeting those standards can affect taxes, appraisals, and resale value.

Building codes require a checklist: dedicated heat and electrical service, a code-approved stairway, and at least one egress window or exterior door. Walls, ceilings, and floors must be fully finished and meet insulation, ventilation, and fire-separation standards. If you add a bedroom, you’ll also need a closet, proper clearances, and safe exits. If you change the layout later, be ready to update the space so every new room still meets today’s code.
